Abrasive jet machining (AJM) has been traditionally used for removing rusts or paints. Nowadays, this is promising technology for micro bulk machining where brittle substrate materials are used. In order to get accurate details, masks such as metal, polymer or elastomer is inevitable. Among them, photo polymer which is sensitive to the light has been attractive for it's high accuracy using photolithography. In this research, SU-8 as a photo polymer is used since it is adequate for making thick mask. So, this paper describes how to make AJM masks using SU-8 with a photolithography process, and investigates the characteristics of SU-8 masks during AJM process. Also, an example of fabrication using AJM was shown.

An experimental study of micro blasting for a rotating aluminum rod was conducted through the statistical analysis of ANOVA to obtain the effect of blasting conditions. The rotating equipment was designed and constructed with forward and backward moving for helical blasting, but rotation was used in this study. The blasting condition factors were the type of abrasive particle, nozzle diameter, pressure, standoff distance, injection time, etc. The width of the surface, the maximum depth of the sprayed surface, and ANOVA were analyzed by statistical analysis. The results showed that the contributions of the main factors were pressure, nozzle diameter, and injection particle.

SU-8 can be implemented as a mask for micro Abrasive Jet Machining (micro-AJM) process [1]. In this paper, we will evaluate the quality of micro grooving result on glass substrate by micro-AJM process which using SU-8 as a mask. It was evaluated on width and edge profile of the micro grooving. The result was having distortion compare with the master film used to pattern the SU-8 mask. The value of distortion with other properties which came along with it, such as depth and surface roughness, can be optimized in order to fabricate micro-channel for micro-fluidic application.

현재 결정질 태양전지에서 웨이퍼 가공은 대부분 슬러리 분사 방식의 다중 와이어를 이용한 방법이 사용되고 있다. 이와 같은 슬러리 분사 방식의 웨이퍼 가공은 가공속도가 낮아 생산성이 떨어지는 단점이 있을 뿐만 아니라 금속 재질의 와이어와 실리콘 블록의 직접적인 마찰에 의하여 웨이퍼 표면의 금속 불순물에 의한 오염이 발생되는 단점이 있다. 뿐만 아니라 와이어와 실리콘 블록간의 직접적인 마찰로 인하여 와이어가 빨리 마모되며, 이로 인하여 일회성의 와이어를 사용하게 되면서 제조원가는 상승하게 된다. 반면에 다이아몬드 입자가 코팅된 와이어를 이용하여 실리콘 웨이퍼를 가공하게 되면, 가공속도가 기존 슬러리 분사방식보다 빠르며, 공정진행에 따른 와이어의 마모율이 적어 와이어의 재사용에 의한 제조원가 절감이 가능하다. 따라서 이와 같은 다이아몬드 입자가 코팅된 와이어를 이용하여 가공하는 기술은 슬러리 분사방식에 비하여 더 효율적이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 슬러리 분사방식으로 가공된 웨이퍼와 다이아몬드 코팅된 와이어로 가공된 웨이퍼의 표면특성에 대하여 분석하고 셀 공정에 영향을 미치는 것에 대하여 설명하고자 한다. 또한, 다이아몬드 와이어로 가공된 웨이퍼를 활용하기 위한 셀 공정의 개선방향에 대하여 제안하고자 한다.

Abrasive jet machining (AJM) has a large number of parameters such as powder flow rate, air pressure, diameter of abrasive, stand off distance, material hardness and fracture toughness, etc. It is not easy matter to control those parameter. To achieve high accurate machining, in this study, Taguchi method was used to select process parameters. The objective of the optimization was to get higher material removal rate (MRR). From the experiments and analysis, some process parameters were found to make efficient machining.

Recently, there has been demand for polymeric porous membranes in various fields, such as environmental engineering, pharmaceutics, tissue engineering, drug delivery, biology, and fuel cells. In this study, it is proposed that a polymer particle-based porous membrane can be fabricated using electrospraying and sintering processes. Electrospraying can fabricate polymeric particles with diameters ranging from several micrometers to tens of nanometers without the cumbersome particle aggregation problem. Additionally, the particles can be sintered through thermo-compression under the glass transition temperature. In this study, a polymethyl methacrylate particle-based porous membrane with an average pore size of less than 500 nm is fabricated using the proposed method.

Abrasive Jet Micromachining (AJM) is a process that uses high pressure air with micron-sized particles to erode a substrate. It has been considered as the most economic and appropriate technique to pattern glass surfaces for the flat panel applications. To accelerate the industrialization of AJM, it is necessary to understand the erosion mechanisms thoroughly. Thus, this paper introduces a new method to model the erosion mechanism in AJM. The model is developed by using the concept of the accumulation of the microdeformation caused by each particle. And this paper proposes the model added the effects of second impact. The developed model is used to simulate the erosion profile, and is compared with the model considered only first impact. It can be concluded that the proposed model predicts the erosion profile more accurately.

A stable rotational-to-linear motion transformation structure using a driving mechanism with 2 degrees of freedom was developed for an orthogonal mechanism to prevent the interference of each axis in 2D motion. In this mechanism, a step motor was used for precise position control. This structure was developed to maneuver workparts in micro particle blast machining experiments. To determine the real-time performance of micro particle blast machining, the control, input, and output were operated simultaneously and precise position control was implemented, using a timer interrupt with multiple execution codes. The two step motors obtained precise position control by removing backlash with a ball-screw mechanism. The device has menu-type control codes for user-friendliness, and real-time sequence control was simultaneously adopted for user control input.
